I just saw this interesting product on cottonbabies.com. You can place your microfibre, prefold etc inside the suedecloth sock to have the stay-dry layer and then pop it in a cover. Has anyone tried one? I've never seen one before.

I made something similar when I first discovered TNN. They've got an envelope opening along their length. I still use them if all the others are in the wash. They're not very cute but work fine and are good for holding lots of inserts together in the cover.

so it's like a pocket without the pocket?I honestly wouldn't be bothered if I was just using a cover - they are supposed to be easy. The reason I use a pocket is to keep everything contained within a stay dry liner...

It's not like a pocket nappy - it's like a nappy liner that encloses the inserts so it doesn't slide around and holds them all together. They are very simple and cheap to make. They make using a prefold and cover system much easier.
